Abstract
Idiopathic dilation of the right atrium (IDRA) is a rare cardiac anoma ly of unknown etiology. Whether it is an acquired or congenital lesion is controversial. A case of IDRA detected in utero and confirmed post natally is reported. The postnatal course was complicated by the devel opment of atrial flutter successfully treated with sotalol. A review o f the literature concerning IDRA is presented.
